Video: Lumia 800 Continues to Get Thrashed with Multiple Drop Tests.
Yes I know that’s not a Lumia 800 but since the 800s screen didn’t shatter into a million pieces lesser substitutes will have to do (BADA-DUM). The people from Singapores largest carrier ‘Singtel’ obviously think that yesterdays broken Lumia 800 was photoshopped; so they took to the streets with their own scratch and drop tests. (Just cause she’s a [...]
Lumiappaday #32: Bible demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Since it’s Sunday, I thought it would also be quite apt if I review a bible app. There are several available and in the video you do get a quick look at 3 in total, but the one I’m checking out is the ‘You Version’ of the bible because of some additional features such as [...]
ThatSnazzyiPhoneGuy ditches his iPhone – more room beyond the world of iThings.
Yesterday, we heard that popular iPhone supporters/users Jon Rettinger and Noah Kravitz ditched their iPhones for a Windows Phone. Doubters did come inbound saying that they were paid. It seems though that with the iPhone 4S looking exactly like the iPhone 4 (though what did you expect, they all look pretty much the same since 2007) [...]
N9Apps #4: Airport demoed on the Nokia N9
I recorded this last night after the Urban Fatburner one, it’s an app I first demoed on the Nokia N900, and I thought it would be quite fitting to demo it again on the Nokia N9. #4: Airport Price: Free Link: http://store.ovi.com/content/22590 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxJLUqLGgx4 Developer Blurb: Take a seat in the Air Traffic Control tower!

New Facebook app for Symbian – Facinate
Another Nokia Store app related news. This time we hear of a new facebook app for Symbian, currently the main recommended app right now is fMobi but it’s always good to see new facebook apps (or new of any type) as it forces all apps of that kind to improve. Anyway, this app for Symbian [...]
Angry Birds Full Version Now Available for N9!
It’s been said that a OS isn’t considered an actual eco-system/A real OS until it has Angry Birds on it, well MEEGO can now officially join the ranks of the big guys; as the full version of angry birds (all 288 levels of time wasting-exam failing- attention grabbing- obsessive goodness) is available at the Nokia store for the usual 2 pounds (Except [...]
Lumiappaday #31: Welsh Kitchen demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Today I’m back in Wales for Christmas (well I’m on a train right now to Wales, joikuspot on N8 being a trooper) and I thought I might share some of the culture of Wales by showing you an app called Welsh Kitchen, a recipe style app that shows you some of the dishes from Wales. [...]
Awesome Looking Weather Widget for Belle on E6
A nifty looking weather widget was just leaked from the official Belle firmware (Kudos to the guys over at HDblog.it) I think this is the widget for the official Weather/Map application (similar to the my position widget which also only works on on Belle); If my Google translate isn’t rusty you’ll need to be running a E6 [...]
Rant: Feedback on eBuddy XMS Beta
We already saw a quick initial review of the latest cross-messaging app for Nokia phones yesterday, from the perspective of a Symbian User. This is a post I have quickly drawn up, as a way to provide some extensive feedback to the developers, as well as gauge the opinion of the readers here at MyNokiaBlog. [...]
Sadly the Lumia IS NOT Indestructible (Not For the Faint-Hearted)
Okay I might be over-exaggerating, but it’s painful to see a device this beautiful flawed and cracked… As we’ve seen across the interweb the Lumia 800 has survived quite aggressive scratch tests and even a fall from a two story balcony. What finally brought down the 800 from the land of immortals (for the record not a bad [...]
TechnoBuffalo’s Jon Rettinger and Noah Kravitz switches to Windows Phone (from iPhone)
Self confessed iPhone user since 2007 (though he has dabbled in pretty much all OSes since then, but sticking primarily to iPhone) Jon Rettinger of TechnoBuffalo has proclaimed he has switched to a Windows Phone as his daily phone. The reservations he had such as unified inbox and some form of multitasking have been [...]

N9Apps #3: Urban Fatburner demoed on the Nokia N9
I saw this game demoed by Nokia Brasil yesterday and I thought it looked fun and gave it a go too. It’s a very simple run and jump game but it’s very addictive. The angle here is that you have a fat guy and the more he runs, the fitter he gets. #3: Urban Fatburner [...]

Lumiappaday #30: Blind Shot demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
This application allows you to take discreet photos. Maybe you want to take a sneaky snap of a friend when they’ve fallen asleep in lectures, or may be some spy work to grab in event photos of the preview of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (Even though those posters are already there and I [...]
Price Busters: Lumia 800 for $520 in Italy, $560 Elsewhere

An Italian website is offering the Black 800 for € 399 (520 dollars0- same as Amazon’s Cybermonday sale)- HURRY Offer ends in 9 hours!!! Meanwhile SGbest.com is [...]
Ebuddy XMS Available for Meego! Beta Version for Symbian As Well!! ( + Initial Review)
Ebuddy’s XMS which is basically a instant SMS via data (like Kik, Whatsapp and liveprofile) is now available for Meego (N9/N950), as of now Ebuddy XMS is the only option available for Meego (Whatsapp say they have no plans at all, Kik was JUST released for Symbian, and liveprofile…. well, don’t get me started). I think if [...]
Lumia 800 Unlocked Online for $599.99
You can now get the Lumia 800 online for a penny under the magical $600 from two online retailers (SamStores & WorldWideVoltage)-first time I hear of them but according to senior google ‘SamStores’ has a pretty decent record. As far as I know 600 dollars is the cheapest price for a Lumia 800 so far [...]
